Thanks Roadie. Looking at used f150's now. Might be cutting the losses and running away like glc suggested. Wait a few minutes and I'll change my mind again... errr.

Those trucks look great! You may get better financing and come out just as well on a comparable new truck when you consider you get a full warranty and new tires and everything else. But we all like to spend other peoples money! You know better than us which direction to go.

You might want to avoid that 2018 - there have been issues with the 10 speed transmission.
